Detective Oliver Parrott takes charge of a murder
case where there may be more people with motives to kill the victim than people
without.

The morning after a weekend birthday party at his
country estate, wealthy former Secretary of the Treasury, Preston Phillips is
found dead. Murdered. There are a plethora of likely suspects. All of the house
guests, for a start. Detective Parrott needs to sort through the motives, and
the alibis, and zero in on the killer or killers.

MURDER
IN THE ONE PERCENT is a quick, fun read. It reminded me of
a game of “Clue” or a zany British-style country house murder mystery – only
with idle, rich Americans instead of stuffy upper crust Brits.
